News from the Void!

 Hello, hello! News from the void! As I can imagine for many of us, the pandemic and ensuing events knocked S&J out for quite a while. We recently emerged for the 2022 Pittsburgh Zine Fair with a new offering, a free resource zine for queer and trans survivors. We are working on an online shop for folks interested in our work. Thanks for your support and stay tuned!

Hello, hello! We had a great time participating in Pittsburgh Zine Fair 2019!  Thanks to the organizers, volunteers, artists, and all those who took the time out of their Sunday to stop by!

Here is our second issue.  We put it together pretty quickly in time for the Pittsburgh Zine Fair.  Originally, Sara wrote it to be twice the length, and perhaps some day we'll work in the rest.  Until then, here is issue #2: Hey Suburbia!  It takes place in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, S&J's highschool stomping ground. Written and lettered by: Sara Cole          Illustrated by: Jamie Straw (front cover) Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed! --S&J
